For leveling tile, a tile leveling device (100) includes a tower (105), a base (120), and leveling ridges (130). The tower (105) includes a cross piece (110) and at least one strut that extends (115) in a distal direction (150) along a first axis (145) from the cross piece (110). Each strut (115) has a first traverse width (170). The base (120) is connected to the at least one strut (115) at a base intersection (140) and extends transversely from the at least one strut (115). The cross piece (110), the at least one strut (115), and the base (120) form a tension gap (125). The leveling ridges (130) are disposed on a proximal surface (121) of the base (120). Each leveling ridge (130) comprises a distal ridge side (131) connected to the base and a proximal ridge surface (132).
